Around here there isn't a deposit. Cans only pay $0.38 per pound. Probably about $200 worth. My uncle saves all the beer cans from his local bar and I help him haul them off every couple months.

Same here, they don't pay crap. About 10 years ago I got army volunteered to store cans in my airplane hanger for a friend sons Boy Scout Troop. We had 2 trucks and a trailers worth. It paid less than $100. They had a set of Lincoln aluminum wheels that paid $80.

I said no the next year. It stunk up my hanger. I spent 4 hours with bleach and a hose, cost me $25 in gas, and was a general pain in the ask. I said get wheels if you want to mess with anything and I will make a donation if it keeps that mess off my hands.

When I moved to Iowa we had cans and bottles laying everywhere in ditches, median, around the lake in parks. Then, I think, beginning 2000 we had to pay 5 cent deposit for cans. In one season all cans and bottles picked up. When we went to a lake we had to bring plastic bags and our kids (then 6 and 9) would pick all cans they could find and return them for deposit. I don't remember how much money they made but it was substantial amount. Stores hate deposit but it had definitely positive effect.

Here too, it's rare to see many laying along the road any more. We periodically load up the back ourxtruck and take $60 -80 worth of cans and bottles back.

I do see plenty of people toss them in the garbage at work and can never understand why they want to throw away the nickel...

Our provincial government has cleverly mandated a $.10 per container "deposit". I say "cleverly" because you only get $.05 per container back when it is returned. I save up all my cans and bottles and donate them to the local Habitat for Humanity Re-Store, since the return on these is too low to make it worth my while to take them back to the recycler.
